Peter Strand (Democratic) Official legislative biography notes: Born 1964 in California; moved to Montana in 1995; B.A. in political science, Occidental College; M.Ed. in elementary education, Lesley University; teacher, Bozeman Public Schools, 28 years; served in House since 2025; spouse’s name is Cameron Hildreth; one son and two daughters.
“Twenty-eight years in Bozeman's public schools taught me what families here are actually up against. I don't need to be briefed on the pressures facing working people in this valley. I lived alongside them for most of my adult life, and that experience drives everything I do in the Legislature.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) “Affordability is the defining challenge for Bozeman families right now. Housing, childcare, healthcare, education: costs are squeezing people who work hard and play by the rules. I'm focused on practical solutions that make a real difference for ordinary Montanans, not just those at the top.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) “Montana's public lands, clean water, and quality of life are worth protecting, and they're under real pressure. So is our democracy. I'll stand up against efforts to sell off our birthright, suppress our votes, or let corporate money drown out the voices of regular Montanans.”
